England鈥檚 pressure eases
Print Edition
ENGLAND captain Eoin Morgan was a relieved man after it posted its first points in the World Cup with a 119-run victory over Scotland in Christchurch, New Zealand, yesterday.
“A lot of positives to take from today,” Morgan said, playing down another unproductive batting effort from England’s middle-order.
England’s win was built around a 172-run partnership between openers Moeen Ali and Ian Bell, but the pace faltered after their dismissals in quick succession, with the innings ending at 303 for eight.
Ali produced a flamboyant 128 and Bell a composed 54, but behind them came Morgan with 46 and five scores of 10 and under.
England was 172 without loss off 30 overs yesterday but only managed 131 for eight off its final 20.
England suffered a 111-run loss to Australia and an even more emphatic eight-wicket defeat by New Zealand in the tournament.
Scotland had its own batting problems after reaching 114 for three, anchored by 71 from Kyle Coetzer, and was all out for 184.
